Linda Ronstadt

Hi,

Can anyone recommend some good Linda Ronstadt albums?  I have few:

Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind
Winter Light

Maybe someone can recommend some similar artists too?  Thanks!

Dave

 

[Doc B]

Heart Like A Wheel, which is an album we have put out on tape. Round Midnight is also a nice, and different kind of album for her.

I asked the exact same question on AudioKarma.  I got answers that covered all her albums.  So two years ago I was working and bought all of them. 

Her earlier works are my favorites.

 

[Adrian]

I have several ol her albums.
I'll second Doc B. for Heart Like a Wheel and add a couple of my favorites:  Hasten Down the Wind and Cry Now.

Maybe i'll have to do the same..  Gotta go buy all the ones the record store has!

Whichever one has Blue Bayou on it is great.

My faves are "What's New" with Nelson Riddle, and her Mexican album "Canciones De Me Padre".

 

[aragorn723]

What's new is the first record of hers I ever got..  That one had a warp in it, and definitely needs replacing  8)  Is the Mexican one all in Spanish?

[Skip Pack]

In the same period and category, Lush Life is fabulous. I prefer it to What's New.

Are there any other albums with that big band sound?

Dave

 

[Grainger49]

There are three, all with Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra.  The collection of all three that I have is called Round Midnight.

+1 Grainger

 

[Grainger49]

Specifically, Silk Purse, Heart Like A Wheel and Prisoner In Disguise.  You already have Hasten Down The Wind (I went with the MOFI of this one). 

Here is the WIKI Discography:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Ronstadt_discography

I see one I want, Dedicated To The One I Love.

Notice that he can't come up with the name.  Hmmm, I wonder why?

I think he means Hasten Down The Wind.  There are a few of her albums with her wearing flimsy tops.

 

[Adrian]

Yeah... it must have been a little nipply out that night of the photo shoot.

 

[Chris]
